Cathy Wassell, CEO of Autistic Girls Network, offers a tailored handbook addressing these challenges. Covering co-occurring conditions, puberty, and creating a positive environment, it provides insights into schooling options. This guide ensures parents are fully informed for a nurturing approach, focusing on difference rather than deficit.
